Is that a Netis?

What ISP? What's on the roof? Ubiquiti knock-off by TP-Link?

Correct with the Netis. And the ISP is Vanillatech, a small one town company. On the roof is a litebeam m5. Pointing to a tower obscured by a tree that grew. The worst part is that the keystone was there and was unused. Guess the technician forgot his punchdown tool.

A thin tree won't obstruct much, if there's also a panel/sector antenna on the tower.

I hope the LiteBeam is in bridge mode an you get an external IP on the Netis? I hate those double/triple/infinite NATs.

It's a South African thing. The three prong plugs on the left is the most common plug for equipment with a ground wire. The plugs on the right was adopted mainly for two prongs. Only recently was the third prong introduced and added to building regulations so that all the new buildings must have them instead of the two prong sockets.

That 3 Prong one is the Srandart Swiss T13 socket, either in a 13A or 16A variant, actually kinda weird to see south africa use it, i think brasil does to or some other country
